Only hope of things changing is if a new manager is appointed (not saying I want Conte to get sacked). The majority of us have now realised that our direction in the market has drastically changed which is something that would put even more doubt on the possibility of this happening. No resale value, £25-35m fee & £150k+ wage for someone in their 30's. I'd say Real Madrid could be the place to look in the summer with their guaranteed clear out and our potential bargaining chip.

Is there defence good enough to stop the likes of PSG, Bayern, etc? Answer is no

It all depends on the type of budget any manager is given in the summer. He'd be a 60m+ signing to begin with.

I know but they are a different side under Valverde. Failed to beat Getafe at home with a full strength squad.

Just think that ship sailed tbh. Not something I'm against (would be a similar signing to Ballack) but it would only make sense a good price. No point going into a bidding wars with Utd for someone of his age.

I'd much rather see us go for Milinkovic Savic. Someone that could do a job long term rather than a year or two with a much larger wage.

I'm hoping for a decent showing at home against a beatable Barcelona.

He doesn't want a repeat of Salah, De Bruyne, etc

Thibo can say goodbye to his clean sheet

Some space at last

I know he's being rested for a team that's closer to his level on Friday.

Conte has finally dropped Cahill. Him & Baka out of the XI along with a CF leading the line gives us hope.

It's obviously something he's had in the past but doesn't show it enough anymore. I also think he's more of a showman at times, which obviously has negative effect on his numbers.

I think the alarming is, his lack of goal scoring instinct which was present when we originally signed him. He scored 22 goals (involved in 44 in 49 games) the season prior to joining us but hasn't really gotten close to that alongside superior players. Talk of him being more of a provider needs to die down as well if you look at his stats alone. No doubt he should be more productive with the ability he possesses..

One of a long list of exceptions. Any player worth his weight goes to the best club to further his career.

Matic filled that role when he rejoined. Shame it was only a honeymoon period

Kante chose us over Utd when we weren't even in Europe. Not everyone is only worried about their pay packet

Don't get ahead of yourself. He's been given ample time to show anything worthwhile. Plays without an ounce of awareness

Shame so few believed in him

We aren't keeping a cleansheet against anyone in this division with Cahill around

Even worse when you think it's mainly down to one man

That's exactly why I said "wake up"

We still have both of them to play at home. That's where our fate will be decided, if we finally wake up.

That's exactly why I mentioned his height. Thibo's only game of note was the 2-2 draw against Arsenal. He could be held accountable for almost half of the goals we've conceded in our last two games alone.
